If you look through the rear window on the right hand side, you can see the "M" of (presumably) "meth lab" written on the windshield as well. Obviously somebody else wrote it there, and the driver couldn't possibly have missed it while driving.

No, I'm saying that unless you've tried a drug (multiple times), you cannot judge it accurately. He can use it if he wants to, but I assume he doesn't.

Meth seems to be the #1 hated drug on reddit. Yes, it can be very detrimental in extreme cases, but it's not like some other drugs or even alcohol isn't. I've tried meth on ~30 occasions and have never been addicted (I never overused it, never stayed awake over 1 night), and haven't used it for a year. I have suffered no long-term damage from my meth usage, because I took it in moderation. Just like everything else in life, too much of something is never good. The drug isn't inherently bad, no drugs are; it's the people who can't control themselves that are to blame.

Good observation. He possibly just wiped the one of the front, and said screw it in regards to the back window, assuming it wouldn't be in issue. Although I don't believe he missed it on the back window, I can concede that he possibly just ignored it due to the drugs.

Come on, he meant that you didn't manufacture the draino or lye, you didn't develop the cough medicine, you stole those from Walmart. It was this great American system that allowed you to build that meth lab.

I'm a 36 year old man who has lived through the meth explosion in the US and who has lived in a Medicinal MJ state, in a town where it was essentially decriminalized. I have friends who have "gone away" on meth and have never come back (still "talk to angels" for example) and I have friends who have been on both the caregiver AND patient end of medicinal marijuana.

As a bartender for over a decade, I can say that I have seen booze do far much more damage than opiates (as to your other argument/analogy). Both have addiction withdrawals that you can die from...neither are a joke.

It was a joke. Call me retarded again and I'll fuck your father in front of you.

"Licence plate violation" is cop code for "we need to make up some probable cause". Believe it or not, it's not illegal to write "meth lab" on your truck. If the cops had pulled him over for that alone, any evidence discovered would have been thrown out for lack of probable cause.

In this instance it is justified. But most of the time they pull you over for a "licence plate violation" or "crossing the double yellow line", you really haven't done anything wrong and they just want and excuse to snoop around.

I'm pretty sure having it written across your windshield is illegal in most states and can get you pulled over. Something about obstructing the driver's view of the road.

edit-- I find it odd they put those plates they showed on the truck. I'm 90% sure those are California dealer plates. On a ratty old pick up like that I would assume it would seem out of place and attract unwanted attention.

Police often times stop people for entirely different violations than their actual purpose or reason for stopping them. Police generally don't give a shit about a license plate violation, but if they think you might be up to something more suspicious, you are def getting pulled over.

See, this is why I wonder why they even allocate money for this. It's not like it's too hard to find them. Does he also play music and drive down the street real slow so the neighborhood junkies can come buy some. "METH LAB MAN'S COMING! MOM, THROW ME SOME MONEY!"

I used to live a few blocks away from a drug dealer on the Southside of Chicago and his license plate was "I DEAL". He would also stand on the same corner everyday in the summer wearing his fur coat and basketball shorts. He was a dedicated man.

I suspect it was a "friend" who was high on meth and thought it would be a funny prank. What's amazing is that it was written on at least three windows and the driver either didn't notice or didn't care.

They sent in a Hazmat team because a truck at "METH LAB" written on the back of it? (Granted, they just so happened to be correct, but given that anyone could have written that, it seems like a strange move.)

I wonder how far this can be taken. If I dislike someone, can I just tag their vehicle with "RAPE VAN" and sit back and relax as SWAT raids their apartment?
